Ruggs Benedict Features Collections of area rugs from the world¹s best rug makers.

Designer Collections
Groups of area rugs that coordinate with each other and fit within the same design theme make up a collection. Often, you need more than just one area rug to complete a design project. The colors should compliment and occasionally contrast, but never clash. The patterns should make sense together, and then the size of each individual piece has to be just right. Its a lot to hope for. Ruggs Benedict can help.

“By featuring groups of complimentary, area rugs from the best rug makers, we make shopping much easier.” believes owner Roger Benedict. “When you find the right center piece, perhaps for the living room, it is a snap to select a complimentary piece for the dining room, and then a runner for the hallway or the stairs from one of our coordinating collections.”

SAHAR
Sahar carpets….. as individual as you are. They are a synthesis of modern design and primitive culture. Tribal artisans are free to express themselves, weaving the design and color transitions as they go. Each carpet is hand made by the artisan weavers of the Qashqa’i tribes of remote southern Iran. Fine, hand spun wool is steeped in colors coaxed from local vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Then, the wool is hand woven to create each unique composition. Sizes available range from small accent pieces (2’ x 4’) up to large room size carpets (10’ x 15’). Custom sizes are also available to create the perfect look for your home.

KARASTAN
Karastan is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fine rugs. Founded in 1928, Karastan introduced power-loomed rugs that matched all the beauty and durability of the first Persian carpets hand woven almost 2,500 years ago. Each rug is woven by master craftsmen, using only the finest materials available. The vast array of styles and colors enables you to not only decorate your home, but to identify your style and define your personal living space.

TUFENKIAN TIBETAN TRADITIONAL
Every Tufenkian rug is made from hand, from the gathering and dying of the finest Tibetan wool, to the final knotting of the design on the loom. The result is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind masterpiece to be treasured and enjoyed for many years to come. This particular collection captures traditional themes and abstracts them, creating a modern heirloom inspired by the past but instilled with the aesthetic of today.

NEW ANTIQUE
A strong design trend is based on creating a “timeless/ageless” look by using a combination of antiques and reproductions. Some of our favorite rug makers have perfected the art of reproducing antique designs with the look and feel of rugs that have seen generations of home life. The pieces in our New Antique Collection have the texture and feel of old rugs, and can give your home a look of traditional elegance with a casual twist. Our collection tends towards richer, stronger colors, such as ruby reds, chocolate browns, harvest golds, and earthy greens. These pieces are all one of a kind, unique carpets selected for color, style, and quality.

GABBEH
Gabbeh translated means something that is “raw, natural, or uncut”. These Persian rugs are all hand woven by tribal women of southern Iran, into unique patterns that reflect the weaver’s spirit and creativity. The designs may tell a story, depict a landscape, or even convey an emotion. This random process ensures that no two Gabbeh rugs are ever alike. Even the dyes are created from vegetation found in the Zagros mountain range. The result is a rich, organic color that can never be exactly duplicated, but rather recreated in similar hues. An original Gabbeh is unmistakable, and will only appreciate with age.
